Agam Sutra 29, Payannasutra-6, 'Sanstarak' Sutra-46, 47
Who can estimate the priceless benefit that a great soul, who has ascended Santhara according to the Dharma, receives on the very first day? .......... Because on that occasion, that great sage, through the power of a unique auspicious determination, destroys all karmas, which are countless in number and exist in all states of existence. Therefore, that virtuous soul, at that time, attains unique Shramanaguna. Sutra - 48
And then, on that occasion, even after ascending Santhara on dry grass, that great sage, who is free from attachment, pride and delusion, and who attains the unparalleled bliss of liberation and detachment, where can a chakravarti, who is always immersed in attachment, find such bliss? Sutra - 49
By the power of Vaikriya Labdhi, gods, who perform musical dramas in thirty-two thousand ways, cannot experience the joy that a great sage, who has ascended Santhara on his own hand-span, experiences. Sutra - 50
The lord of the six realms, who experiences the poisonous worldly pleasures, which are full of attachment, hatred and bitter consequences, does not experience the bliss of detachment, which a virtuous soul, free from attachment, experiences. He only experiences the bliss of unbroken self-absorption. Sutra - 51
In the Jain tradition, there is no count of years in solitude for attaining the bliss of liberation. The entire foundation rests only on the unwavering state of the devotee's soul. Because even those who have lived in the Gachchha for many years, but whose souls are wavering, have drowned in the ocean of birth and death. Sutra - 52
Those souls who, in their final moments, embrace Santhara, a form of worship through Samadhi, and die, those great souls can quickly achieve their own welfare even in the last stage of life. Sutra - 53
Santhara on dry grass or lifeless, barren land is not the only support for worship in the final moments. But the soul, who is capable of practicing pure, non-transgressive conduct, is the support for Santhara. Therefore, such a soul is the support for worship. Sutra - 54
A soul who is eager to embrace Sanlekhana through the body, and who is austere and rough through the renunciation of passions, always becomes a manifestation of the worship described by the Jinas in any field, at any time, due to his unwavering nature in the Jain tradition. Sutra - 55
After performing various austerities well during the rainy season, the devotee ascends Santhara for all states in the Hemant season. Sutra - 56, 57
In Potanpur, the Dharma Guru of Pushpachula Arya, Shri Arnikaputra, was famous. On one occasion, he was crossing the Ganges River by boat. ..... The people on the boat pushed him into the Ganges at that time. After that, Acharya Shri Arnikaputra embraced Santhara at that time and died in Samadhi.
